==Comparisons between workflow systems==

With a large number of bioinformatics workflow systems to chosechoose from, it becomes difficult to understand and compare the features of the different workflow systems. There has been little work conducted in evaluating and comparing the systems from a bioinformatician's perspective, especially when it comes to comparing the data types they can deal with, the in-built functionalities that are provided to the user or even their performance or usability. Examples of existing comparisons include

* The paper "Scientific workflow systems-can one size fit all?",<ref>{{Cite doi|10.1109/CIBEC.2008.4786077|noedit}}</ref> which provides a high-level framework for comparing workflow systems based on their control flow and data flow properties. The systems compared include [[Discovery Net]], [[Taverna workbench|Taverna]], Triana, [[Kepler scientific workflow system|Kepler]] as well as Yawl and [[Business Process Execution Language|BPEL]].
